Sun Flower Hive Charm

People have been adorning and charming their bee hives for as long as humans have made houses for bees! While made with the vision of carrying along that tradition, this hand-cut copper talisman could also charm a door, a wall, or altar space.

"Indigenous agriculturalists worldwide have always spent a lot of time making and adorning all their tools, making meaningfully ornate the walls and floors of their homes, adorning their own bodies and farm animals, making beautiful their graves, and more so the sacred architecture of their fields, infusing every aspect of their existence, physical and spoken, with an indigenous beauty, powerful, ornate, clear, sparkling, proud, and strong."
- Martín Prechtel, The Unlikely Peace at Cuchumaquic

These hive charms are a gesture towards remembering that gorgeous old-time way of adorning that Martín describes so well.

The copper is quite thin and bendable. The charms come pre-punched with holes, so that you can easily and sturdily affix them to a wooden backing. The dimensions are 5 1/2”x11” to accommodate various hive styles.
